MINNEAPOLIS -- The Target Center crowd stood and watched in disbelief as Kevin Love was introduced in the starting lineup, at least a week ahead of schedule from a broken right hand that had kept him out for the first nine games of the season.

 

The only problem was his Minnesota Timberwolves teammates spent the rest of the night standing and watching Love as well.

 

Andre Iguodala had 18 points and nine rebounds to spoil Love's surprise season debut in the Denver Nuggets' 101-94 victory Wednesday night.

 

Love had 34 points and 14 rebounds, helping the Wolves take a 17-point lead in the first half. But he didn't get a whole lot of help in his first game in nearly five weeks. Nikola Pekovic had 10 points and seven rebounds, and J.J. Barea was the only other Wolves player in double figures with 12 points.

 

"You've got to be able to go to other players rather than just him," coach Rick Adelman said.

 

Danilo Gallinari scored 19 points for the Nuggets, who withstood a furious start by a Timberwolves team buoyed by the return of their All-Star power forward.

 

Ty Lawson had 18 points and nine assists, and Kenneth Faried had 14 rebounds for the Nuggets, who overcame 20 turnovers. After a sluggish start to the season, the Nuggets (6-6) have picked up two straight quality road wins against Memphis and Minnesota.
